My high school French teacher here in New Zealand was at Stanley as a boy.
His first name "could" be Rod, and he could be in the South Island of New Zealand.
Sorry, I didn't ask him anything about his experiences, and I haven't thought about high school since 1979.

Hi Marlowe

Rodney Michael Metcalf was born in Stanley Camp 11th April 1942. He had a brother Christopher born in 1940. His parents were  Rodney Oswald and Kathleen  Metcalf and they were Missionaries working in China. I guess they were caught in HK when war boke out and interned at Stanley. Later in Dec 1942 the family was moved to Shanghai.

Best regards,

Philip Cracknell
